4 comments for “Pollution Solution For Loose Goose”

Urban geese (and pigeons and others) are overpopulated. That overpopulation leads to wiping out food supplies, starvation, disease, and death. Letting that type of suffering happen is immoral. A predator – humans – are the most efficient and effective way to balance out the population. Responsible hunters also use as much of the harvest as possible – feeding the homeless is one good example.

An adult goose yields 2-3 pounds of meat, enough for 10 to 20 meals, so something is wrong with the harvest method or reporting if they say “just 1 pound”.

Maybe that will change once the state takes over. Or maybe it has already—I haven’t worked out there a couple of years. But when I was there a few years ago it was an infestation. And the green goose poo covers the blacktop of their parking lots.

The ponds at HP were green and unpleasant from so many birds using it as their toilet. Watching the birds drink from that I doubt their meat would taste very good unless it is well seasoned and drowned in a strong sauce to mask that taste.
